Exceptional indoor space, ample outdoor space and quiet separate space in High Park. | 43 Hillsview Ave

About the Property

Prepare to have your high expectations exceeded in this stunning, fully updated 3+1 bedroom High Park home. From the first moment you step through the front door, the space makes you feel right at home. The open concept layout is so inviting, it’s difficult to decide if you should sit and enjoy the serene sitting area, or wander back to the kitchen and pull up a seat under the sparkling pendants at the kitchen island. No detail has been overlooked, from the custom millwork, to the built-in wine rack on the kitchen island, to the gorgeous stone counters and glass tile backsplash. 

This floor also features a powder room, side entrance to the basement and a beautiful french door walkout to the deck and backyard beyond. 

Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting and large closets. Updated hardwood floors not only look fantastic, but those with small children will appreciate the squeak-free exit at bedtime. 

The main bath offers a spa-like retreat from everyday life, with a show-stopping stand alone tub and separate glass shower and a calming design to help melt stress away after a long day. 

Downstairs, the fully renovated basement is, well, huge. You could use this space as a private office space, with room for 2, set up a playroom and homework zone, or create an incredible media room. The space has a fabulous 3 piece bath, with glass walk-in shower, making this versatile space perfect for an in-law or nanny suite. And with a separate entrance and kitchen rough in, you could also turn this into an income-generating basement apartment. 

Outside, the view from the deck to the wooded area behind is delightful. There’s a gas hookup for a BBQ, and you’re just a few steps from the fully fenced yard. Here, there’s plenty of room for kids to play, your pooch to frolic or for you to garden, entertain or simply relax in your own private green space. The mutual drive and garage (with a new roof in 2019) has parking space for two. 

What are the 5 best things about this house and why? 

1. Completely turnkey, nothing to do except move in and enjoy
2. Unsexy work done for you – newer roof, wiring, plumbing, heating system
3. Space outside to park 2 cars, including the garage along with a generously sized enclosed backyard for the kids to run around

4. The main bath offers a spa-like retreat.

5. Great location, walking distance from parks, subway, shops in High Park/Bloor West/Junction and Roncesvalles

About the Neighbourhood and Lifestyle

With winding, hilly avenues lined Victorians and Edwardians, shaded by a tree canopy that has stood watch for close to 100 years, it’s easy to see why people love High Park – the city neighbourhood that feels a bit like living in a small town. Everything is a few minutes’ walk. Dundas West Station, Bloor GO/UP Express and more. You have the proximity of the park. Roncy is just around the corner, and the urban charm of the Junction just to the north. With craft breweries, exceptional restaurants, cool shops, amazing green space and a community feel, you’re at the heart of it all. And when you’re looking for more sedate charm, Bloor West Village is just down the way.
